Empty Raft Fundamental Analysis

[ganymede]

I need to analyze an empty raft foundation with no structural elements on it. The foundations are incremental. The program warns that mass not found and leaves the analysis unfinished. What do you suggest?

I need to do an empty raft foundation analysis with no structural elements on it. The foundations are also incremental. The program gives a warning that no mass was found and leaves the analysis incomplete. What would you recommend?

Hello, For Raft foundation analysis At least one column or shear must be defined in the project. You cannot only get the raft foundation analysis and report. If you want to make raft analysis independent of the structure, you can define short columns at the points where you will enter loads and moments from the outside, and you can define load and moment at the bottom ends of the column. Good work

Thank you. Wouldn't it be sufficient for the correct calculation to enter the raft foundation G;Q loads instead of defining the load for the columns I will add?

If there is no load from the superstructure on the foundation, there is no need to define the load. . Good work
